Second guessing what was done, said, seen, felt, or lived within that given day. Behind her is a physical representation of her insecurities and doubts. It could be something as simple as “I should have said this” or a complex feeling of “why are they looking at me like that?” As the mind questions, the figure behind her grows perhaps in all-consuming ways. The blue figure reflects her destructive emotions, while the papaya aims to express the positive within the negative that consumes her. Guided by the ants also shown in this piece, can the primary figure unite her positive and negative emotions or let them consume her as she remains trapped in her reflection?
